In 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage (饮料) containers. Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles. Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw materials for new products. But because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound up buried in landfills (垃圾填埋场). The problem was not limited to New York. Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second-hand plastic.
Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled (回收利用) in the United States. The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence posts, paint brushes, etc.
As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish. A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life—and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value. Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually depress prices for used materials.
Shrinking landfill space, and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling. In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive wastemanagement option. For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to saving of more than $ 100 per ton. Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.

The key problem in dealing with returned plastic beverage containers is______.
选项
A、to sell them at a profitable price
B、how to reduce their recycling costs
C、how to turn them into useful things
D、to lower the prices for used materials
答案
C
解析
本题属于细节归纳题。我们可以定位到阐述回收利用意义的第三段,本段着重论述人们应如何找到一条塑料垃圾再利用的途径(即给予第二次生命),使之变成有用的产品,其次还要有经济效益。选项C“how to turn them into useful things”“如何使它们变成有用的东西”是文章中“how to give it a second life”的同义表达,所以是正确答案。选项A“出售它们赚钱”偏离了本题的提问。选项B“如何降低其回收利用的费用”和选项D“降低使用过的材料的价格”都不是问题的关键。
